Intro: (x2) verse 1 Light up my lantern I’ll cut you a path   We’ve walked for hours and it’s getting dark     We left the roadside in search of aid   Wind-screen shattered and tire marks made     I’ve never seen someone bleeding like this   Rip off your sleeve and clench your wrist     verse 2 I’ll light the stove and sit by the hearth   Orangey glow light the wintry dark     We kept her bedroom exactly the same   Winters they followed and Summers they came     He’d bash around banging down on the floor I sit alone with an eye on the door     Bridge - Strumming (Personal Preference) Stop in this clearing we’ll stay here tonight Press up against me I’ll hold you so tight I got these matches we’ll let off some smoke Maybe they’ll see us and maybe they won’t Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars   I’ll lie awake listening out for cars     verse 3 He stares through curtains when he talks to the night   I sit and listen for tires on the drive     I keep on waiting and he keeps on talking Just stop him talking please stop him talking     Outro - Just strum downwards here no upward strums     No give me silence     Give me silence     Give me silence Oh no...
